All is quiet on the morning of March 14, 2007 in Los Angeles, California. The usually busy streets or highways are vacant, birds have stopped chirping, and the lawn service people are nowhere to be seen. That’s when it starts. At first, it’s a faint sound off in the distance, high pitched and subtle. Then it builds in intensity, getting closer and closer, louder and louder until windows on the houses start to rattle. Suddenly, all is quite for a brief moment. Then the mushroom cloud appears and the shock wave hits, irradiating the city with high levels of capsaicin. Danny Cash’s Naga Sabi Bomb has just been dropped onto my tongue.
All right, all right, so it wasn’t that intense, but it’s still got some great kick mixed with unique flavor.
Ingredients: Naga Jolokia (aka Naga Morich), Red Habanero, Wassabi, Garlic, Lime, Vinegar, Salt.
I picked this little collectable up at the 2007 Fiery Foods Show directly from Danny himself. It came with a nifty, plastic shot glass with Danny Cash’s Logo printed on it. Signed and number by Danny Cash, the label is styled after an old World War Two bomber plane. A radiation symbol is prominently displayed under the sauces title (done in a super keen Japanese styled font) giving one a slight hint of the intensity of heat the sauce contains.
Not being one for collecting unopened hot sauce bottle, I took it home and opened it. Collectors beware; sauce number 60 of 70 is now off the market. This thing has a fantastic taste to it. I would dare say it is “truly unique”. First thing I notice is the texture. Since the Cash Crew used powdered Naga and Wassabi, the sauce has a slight gritty feel. Then the taste hits you. The sweetness from the Habaneros is upfront with the Wassabi filling in the rest. The Lime smacks you in the side of the mouth and the Garlic rounds everything off nicely.
Now the really cool thing of this sauce is the heat. Since it has the world’s hottest pepper, the Naga, right away you know that thing’s going to get hot. Kicking this into overdrive is Red Habanero and Wassabi. The Wassabi heat is slight but the pepper heat is intense.
The real trick of this sauce is to keep eating it. The heat isn’t that big upon first tasting, but the more and more you eat of it, the hotter it gets. It’s a crescendo of heat that culminates in an all out hurt fest, resulting in a lightheaded endorphin rush. Be sure to be sitting while downing this sauce because the rush hits you fast and you may find yourself falling over. Yes folks, it’s that good.
All said and done, this is a kicker of a sauce! Great taste combined with “radical heat” (as Danny Cash described it). Be on the look out at his website for it’s appearance for sale.

Good stuff…… After 2 tsp I was good for the day, not so for DK he did the bomb and then dropped bombs of his own for about 4 hours in his room……
I seem to see a theme forming with DK, in Tenn. he broke CaJohn’s toliet, ok I have shared to much info.
Great sauce from some great guys!!!!!

Yeah, DK is hardcore!
Dude. I think Blane has the record so far for the most NSB consumed at one time with DC witnesses. Jonathan might have consumed more during his review, but my jaw dropped when Blane ate a heaping, full-size teaspoon twice in short order! Maybe Huv will set the new record…you guys are tough, man.

Huv is the only person out there that scares me when it comes to eating Hot Sauce, The man is a freak when it comes to fire eating…..lol…

I think the NSB was an excellent tasting, non extract super hot. The first thing I noticed was the flavor, then the bomb exploded. YIKES !!!
Kudos to the Cash crew !!!

You need an offical person to witness the event, so put your shot glass up, I still own the record….lol…

All right, no pics. The title is ALL yours!
Comment fired by huvason — March 16, 2007- 5:29 pm
I am going to create a new page on our website called The NSB hall of fame or something like that. I need 3 pics of each of you: 1. holding the full shot glass so you can see the sauce in it 2. doing the shot 3. the after effects. I will post them and anyone who does it will get a signed Naga Sabi Bomb poster 10×13 or so and live on as a legend on our website. First to email the pics to me goes on the top of the page. Fair?

Oh god, as if I haven’t wasted ENOUGH of the sauce on the first dare, I have to do it again?!?!?! *Sigh*

Bummer - I have to wait for the sauce
Comment fired by huvason — March 16, 2007- 8:03 pm
Hurry up and ship me a bottle, because you know me there’s no chance in he!! I’m opening a signed / numbered bottle….lol…
Comment fired by BLANE — March 16, 2007- 8:35 pm

It’s really amazing!
Ok, I just looked over the weekend (in between the hangovers) and I may not have enough for the challange. The last time I did this (at the bar) may have emptied the bottle too much…
Comment fired by Jonathan Passow — March 19, 2007- 5:26 pm
Well, it turns out that I do not have enough for the challange and am stepping out. Bummer…

Ive done tests side by side with my Sauce 10 and this…and honestly, this is more of a “liberally apply to food” kind of sauce. It takes much more of it to produce the lingering/intense burn that the Sauce 10 can provide. I *DO* however like the thin consistency of the sauce. It makes pouring and using quite a bit easier. It’s still HOT, but just not as hot as I would ahve hoped…

PS, im going to be growing my own Naga Morich seeds from the chiliman this winter indoors via hydrponics and whatnot to create my own blistering sauce!!!
